Multnomah County Faces $93 Million Budget Cuts
(Portland, OR) -- Multnomah County faces 93-million dollars in budget cuts. It's due to lower property tax revenue, cuts in federal funding and the loss of one-time funds. County Chair Jessica Vega Pederson has released her list of proposed cuts. Homeless services could face a loss of 67-million dollars. That would close 605 shelter units. The District Attorney's Office, which had a budget increase last year, would face a five percent cut. That would mean 15 employees, including eight prosecutors.
